The global Leader in flexible core solution 
will now distribute it’s range of non-woven fabric through
Link composites pvt. Ltd.
Lantor Composites offers a comprehensive range of innovative nonwoven solutions for the composites (fibre reinforced plastics) industry. Since our introduction of nonwoven core materials as a time and cost saving solution for the composites industry Lantor has built a solid reputation in the industry. In close cooperation with the world’s leading end-users and institutes, the company has developed successive generations of Lantor mat products for specific applications in the marine, transportation, construction, leisure, sanitary, aerospace and wind industry. Let’s have a look at the products for some of these industries
MARINE
Lantor core materials can be applied to all composite parts, including decks, hulls, hatch covers, steering consoles, shower cabinets and chairs. Lantor Coremat® is used as a core material in decks and hulls or as a print barrier in hull sides. Lantor Soric® is used in closed mould processes as a flexible core, interlaminar infusion medium and print barrier.
Typical key benefits from using Coremat or Soric :
• Saves labor
• Saves weight
• Excellent print blocker
• Saves resin and glass
• Soric as an interlaminar infusion medium
Lantor Finishmat® D7760 is used in closed mould processes to prevent print through effect and provide the laminate with a class-A finish. For additional information on print through blocking and osmosis prevention with Lantor Soric TF and Lantor Finishmat D7760, please contact us.

WIND ENERGY : Lantor products in FRP Parts of Wind Turbines:
Business Development Wind Energy
Lantor has set up dedicated Business development specifically for the Wind industry.With Lantor flexible core products for both open and closed mould manufacturing there is an excellent fit in the production of the FRP parts of a wind turbine. In Nacelle and Spinner parts Lantor Flexibel cores can be used as core material to get economical viable laminate solutions and for blade manufacturing it can enhance the quality of the infusion process.
Lantor Composites Calculation Service
Because of years of expertise in the wind energy market, Lantor can assist in laminate build-up solutions and do calculations for an optimal use of the different composite materials and to optimise the production cycle times of the specific products.
Lantor Coremat®
In open mould manufacturing Lantor Coremat® can help you shorten the cycle time of the production of a Nacelle or Spinner by building up thickness in one layer instead of using multiple reinforcement layers. The quick bulking of the laminate in combination with reinforcements will meet the mechanical properties required by Germanische Lloyd’s standards. It increases the flexural properties of the laminate without adding weight. Lantor Coremat can therefore save materials and will help you to reduce the production times of the specific parts.
Lantor Soric®
When using closed mould processes Lantor Soric® will help the production of the FRP parts in multiple ways. The thickness loss that the Vacuum infusion or RTML process introduces compared to the open mould process can be compensated by using Lantor Soric as a core material. Lantor Soric is a compression stable core that enables you to use an optimal amount of reinforcements. The mechanical properties can therefore be optimized without making compromises to the total weight of the end product.
The channels between the Hexagonal cells of the Lantor Soric core also helps to distribute the resin thru out the total laminate build up. The controlled way that the Soric core distributes the resin will give you an optimal control of the infusion process. This will lower the risk for dry spots and therefore enhances the quality of the product and the amount of the total production cycle time. Important aspects for both nacelle and blade manufacturing.
INDUSTRIAL
A world leading producer of high-precision measurement equipment for the automotive industry, produces equipment covers made of glass fiber composite. The primary requirements of these composite covers are adequate stiffness and an excellent surface finish as befits a quality piece of equipment.
The use of Coremat Xi3 achieves both these requirements. Coremat, acting as a thin core, builds up thickness quickly. This saves labour, glass and resin. Coremat also acts as a print blocker, greatly improving the cosmetics of the finished part. The use of Coremat also reduces the weight of the panel as compared to the all glass version, making the panels much easier to install.
Why Coremat Xi 3 mm?
The 3 mm Coremat Xi proved to be the optimum thickness to achieve the required stiffness needed for the covers. Coremat Xi also adapts easily to the complex shape of the parts. Coremat Xi3 achieves both the required stiffness and the improved appearance of these laminated parts.
Laminate build up
• Gel coat blue or white
• Glass layers
• Coremat Xi 3 mm
• Glass layers
BUILDING, CONSTRUCTOR & INFRASTRUCTURE
A large producer of glass-reinforced-epoxy and phenolic pipe systems produces GRE-pipe products for industry, oil & gas, offshore, marine and fuel handling systems, Lantor Finishmat 6691 SL is used in the manufacturing of oil pipes. Finishmat 6691 SL is used on the inside of the pipes to improve the chemical resistance of the pipes.
Why Finishmat 6691 SL?
The material creates a resin-rich layer in the pipe, which has the following advantages :
• creates a chemical barrier
• the smooth finish of the pipe has a positive effect on the flow properties
• 6691 SL prevents glass fibres protruding from the surface, thus improving the durability of the pipe
• synthetic fibers have greater resistance to water than glass fibres, as they do not contain silane.
